[/IMG] [/quote] Thanks for the encouragement. I haven't watched it in ages. I remember at the time I was soooo disappointed. But, being the vocal geek, I was disappointed with the singing performance. The choreography, set and otherwise, didn't bother me at all. ABC had been promotoing it as a provocative performance all along. It seemed very much in keeping with the evening. I remember being more "offended" by the female singer semi-wrapped in skimpy bandages sprawled on sort of an operating table with people with guns around her.... something like that. Hazy on the details, but I thought it was creepy. And Gaga breaking liquor bottles and setting her piano ablaze I thought was outrageous and stupid. At least Adam's choreography made sense with the lyrics. But, his vocals just weren't up to snuff. Watching it again, I realize that they weren't nearly as bad as I remembered. Yes, he hit a couple of bum notes, but was mostly on pitch. He did hit a couple of incredible high notes. Overall, his vocals were more wobbly and less consistent than Adam's usual level of professionalism, but compared to many other pop singers, they still sounded good. Worst of the performance was that dry feed which amplified every little bobble and, combined with all the movement, made Adam's voice sound less full than it should. Was it a performance I would recommend to people I want to be wowed with his incredible voice? Nope. Was it bad? Nope. Was it deserving of the shitstorm that errupted? Not even close. Still, I am fine with this being included in his body of recorded work, for its impact on his career. |

Hmmm, wouldn't want to do that since it is a PM, but if you got it, you would know it is unusual.  Ya, you're right. This is the one place on line I've never worried about that kind of thing. Hope its a one time thing. :-/ |

«Danke, Adam Lambert!»An Thanksgiving überlegen sich auch die Schweizer in Los Angeles, wofür sie dankbar sind. Beim Schlagzeuger Fabian Egger ist es ein Gig mit dem Glamrocker Adam Lambert. www.bluewin.ch/de/index.php/9,708164/de/tvundfilm/kino   Translation of "Thank you, Adam Lambert!": (Original article here: www.bluewin.ch/d tl.gd/k40smt via @wildflowerglam The Swiss drummer Fabian Egger living in Los Angeles doesn't have to think long about it: "I am thankful that I got to perform with Adam Lambert."
The selection process was hard. Many of his idols were at the auditions for the gig with Lambert. One after another was sent home. "At the end the drummer of P.Diddy and I were the only ones left", the 22 year old tells. Then they both were sent home too. For one week there was silence. Then Lambert's music director Brian London called: Fabian Egger got the job! Maybe their choice had to do with him being a fan of the Yellowcard drummer, Longineau Parsons who played with Lambert in the past, and having a similar (drum) style as him.
Then everything went fast: 15 songs to lern, rehearsals and after a while the Rheintaler (Rheintal = a region in Switzerland) already sat in a plane to Australia with the band. "It was an awesome experience", Egger tells. With his 22 years he is the baby of the band, and to match the lead singer's style, the put eyeliner around the eyes for the performance in Melbourne.
Before Egger had to head to Switzerland, to renew his American work visa in the US-embassy, there was still time to shop clothes together. "We are both shopaholics and found nice things - I got t-shirts and bling jewellery."

Still, I am fine with this being included in his body of recorded work, for its impact on his career.[/quote] In reviewing it today it struck me that part of the reason he sounded so off was because he seemed to be kind of squeezing the voice. I remember he said his vocal inspiration for this song was MJ and I remember when the song first came out some people said it didn't sound like him or that it was auto tuned and I always felt it was vocal color in that he was singing it the way he imagined MJ would. I really feel like the combination of the unusual vocal color with the lack of control he seemed to be having (probably due to adrenaline) was what made it sound really bad for those of us more familiar with his voice. Of course after the fall everything really went off the rails and I always felt the kiss was an instinctual attempt to create a moment to overshadow the faults. I clearly remember reading plenty of comments online from non fans who thought the vocals were fine. Having listened to a lot of other live performances from other artists in the years since shows that he wasn't that bad in comparison to what unfortunately has become the norm in performance level. |
